Just curious, Hess has a hearing establishing 4 wells on a 1280 in Alkali but they already had a hearing for 6 and then one for 10 in all of Alkali 1280 spacing units... could it be a typo and they meant 14 or do they have to do a hearing to decrease the number of wells in a spacing unit?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's not a typo, but that's always possible, I suppose, but very unlikely. I would need to see the case numbers to comment.
DeleteThe old cases are 16883 and 18621. There is currently 1 well on the 1280 spacing unit that is doing pretty good and then a well on a 640 spacing unit that is from the start of the boom that is doing poorly.
DeleteYes, the older case was specific for certain 1280-acre units, about ten, I believe. The summary paragraph for case #18621 implied "all" 1280-acre units in that field. I doubt hearings are required for drilling less wells than originally planned; regardless, years from now there will be more wells than just 10 in most 1280-acre units in the Bakken.
DeleteThanks Bruce. I agree, I'm sure there will be more wells than that.
DeleteNot to drag this out, but for clarity, in Case# 17395 in March/29/12 Hess got permission for 4 wells on a number of 1280 acre units in Ellsworth. In November, Case #21254 they got permission for 6 wells on the same number. Do they now have permission to drill 10 wells or did the request for 4 get replaced with the new request for 6?
ReplyDeleteI was confused by this at one time, but this is the way I see it: when an operator requests a specific unit to have four wells on it, the operator is asking for a total of four wells in that driling unit (and formation). So, if there are already two wells in a specific drilling unit in the Bakken, and an operator requests four wells for that same drilling unit in the Bakken, the operator now has authority (if granted) to drill two more Bakken wells in that section. It does not affect/concern wells targeting other formations such as the Madison or Red River.
DeleteBy the way, this discussion is part of the QEP "Helis Grail" unitization discussion.
